THE HYMNS

1. O For a Thousand Tongues To Sing

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My dear Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace!

My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad

The honours of Thy Name.

Jesus! the Name that charms our fears.
That bids our sorrows cease,

'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the power of cancelled sin,

He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean.

His blood availed for me.

Glory to God, and praise, and love

Be ever, ever given
By saints below and saints above.

The Church in earth and heaven.

4^

Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,

And the mountains in reply.
Echoing their joyous strains.

Chorus:

Glory, in the highest Glory,
Glory, in the highest Glory.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heav'nly song?

Come to Bethlehem, and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

See Him in a manger laid.

Whom the choirs of angels praise;

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid.

While our hearts in love we raise.

THE HYMNS

3. Look, Ye Saints 1

Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious;

See the Man of Sorrows now;
From the fight returned victorious,

Every knee to Him shall bow:
Crown Him! crown Him!

Crowns become the Victor's brow.

Crown the Saviour! angels, crown Him!

Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,

While the vault of heaven rings:
Ciown Him! crown Him!

Crown the Saviour King of kings.

Hark, those bursts of acclamation!

Hark, those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station:

O what joy the sight affords!
Crown Him! crown Him

King of kings, and Lord of lords!

«£

Help Me. O Lord

Help me, O Lord, the God of my salvation!

I have no hope, no refuge, but in Thee;
Help me to make this perfect consecration,

In life or death Thine evermore to be.

Help me, O Lord, to keep my pledge unbroken!

Guard Thou my ways, my thoughts, my tongue, my heart;
Help me to trust the word which Thou hast spoken.

That from Thy paths my feet may ne'er depart.

Help me, O Lord! My strength is only weakness;

Thine, Thine the power by which alone I live;
Help me each day to bear the cross with meekness.

Till Thou at last the promised crown shaft give.
